The Diversity of Bacterial Symbionts in Major Agricultural Lepidopteran Pests in Australia
International Journal of Microbiology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Lepidopteran pests are among the most destructive insects in agriculture, causing major yield losses across a wide range of crops worldwide. With growing emphasis on reducing chemical pesticide use, there is increasing interest in understanding their associated microbiomes and endosymbiotic bacteria.

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Understanding how vector population structure influences pathogen circulation remains a major challenge in tick‐borne disease ecology, particularly in biogeographically transitional regions. Dermacentor reticulatus, a widespread Palearctic tick species and vector of multiple pathogens, provides a useful system to investigate this relationship in a ...

Molecular detection of Rickettsia felis in common fleas in Greece and comparative evaluation of genotypic methods [PDF]
, 2021 Introduction: Rickettsia felis is the causative agent of flea-borne spotted fever (FBSF), an emerging zoonosis. Although there is evidence of FBSF in Greece, fleas, the classic vectors of R. felis, have not been adequately studied.

Zoonotic Disease Transmission May Be Linked to Host Co‐Occurrence Network Topology
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1554, Issue 1, Page 110-120, December 2025.A global analysis of zoonotic host co‐occurrence networks identified 22 networks from five continents (A) and 87 hosts from 16 orders of mostly birds but also mammals (B) as having a high potential for disease transmission. ABSTRACT Most human pathogens are zoonotic, transmitted from vertebrate hosts to humans.

Molecular detection of Rickettsia typhi and Rickettsia felis in fleas from Algeria [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2009 With the exception of the rat flea Xenopsylla cheopis and Yersinia pestis, the agent of plague, fleas and human flea-borne infections have been scarcely studied in Algeria [1]. Murine typhus, a typhus group rickettsiosis caused by Rickettsia typhi and transmitted by X.
